Any geeks?

Charisma_Black

I used to be absolutely addicted to World of Warcraft for 5 years . How I got through university, had a full time job and a part time job at the same time I have no idea. I was like a zombie! Used to be a GM- ran own website, wrote out a strategy guide for all players for raids and also did a crap load of PvP. Holy paladin was definately my thing. I was a big online gamer - into Starcraft 2, Dawn of War games and also FPS like CSS.

I also used to play Dungeons and Dragons at club called Dragonslayers. I used to be the Events Manager for this club which was thoroughly enjoyable as it helped get everyone out and about to socialise. For some who are quite geeky, they find solace in solitude or simply their own company. So it nice to get these guys out and about.

I now have an XBox 360 and currently playing Lara Croft, Dynasty Warriors and Bioshock.

I'm currently reading the Walking Dead comics along with the Bioshock book.

I love science and would love nothing more than to work in Forensics. I did my degree in Archaeology and Palaeoecology.

If anyone wants to add me as a friend please feel free I'm on MFP daily.

I'm an IT Administrator, avid gamer and love Doctor Who, can't get much more geeky than that right? Feel free to add me, I am always looking for new friends!

Unfortunately I don't have a cool, "nerdy/geeky" job, just a lowly cleaner... Dunno if these instead count but just to give a bit more insight, here's some (I can't list them all) of my favourite things:

TV shows: FIREFLY, Supernatural, Game of Thrones, Archer, The Tenth Kingdom.
Films: Gattaca, The Fifth Element, Artificial Intelligence, LOTR/The Hobbit, various "bad yet good" films.
Games: *sigh* Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Devil May Cry, Mass Effect, Halo, Borderlands, Minecraft, BioShock, Haunting Ground, Shadows of the Damned, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Shadow Hearts and gosh I need to stop, there's too many...
Books: Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Harley Quinn The New 52 (I know it's a comic but shhh, I'll list it here.)
Music: Puscifer, Poets of the Fall, Kamelot, Evans Blue, ugh, too many, just anything in the rock/metal/alternative genre and I'll be good.
Hobbies: Making plushies, knitting, and seeming to collect t-shirts from various 24 hours sites. It's becoming hurtful to my bank account. :<

Bringing it back to weight loss, I stepped on the scales this morning and have lost 50lbs since May last year!

If ya feel like we'll get along then feel free to throw an add my way~ c:

Technolero

Fisheries biologist turned system admin (manage UNIX servers). I love tech, gadgets, electronics, etc. I have spent too much time on my Xbox 360 in the past playing Call of Duty. The only thing I like more than tech stuff is riding my mountain bike. I stay in pretty good shape most of the year, then it gets cool in winter and I play Xbox and drink beer! Spring has me fired up now to really get moving again. Please add me to your friends list...I would love to add y'all as friends!

scispence

Science geek (Chemistry teacher). I'm not big in to comic books or gaming, but I loved Firefly and Red Dwarf. I own Florence Flask earrings and am married to an engineer gamer. What's Batman times 10 to the negative 72? Nano nano nano nano nano nano nano nano - BATMAN!! Feel free to add me if you wish.

feedmedonuts

Love games-mostly Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Mass Effect, Bravely Default, sci-fi novels & movies (currently reading Hyperion), the occasional convention, fanart and Copic markers, tea...etc.

mxmkenney

I always thought I was a bit of a geek and then I read these threads and have no idea what half the stuff is. Maybe I am more of a dork?

ditto! Dorks unite!

fredgiblet

I haven't had a desktop that I didn't build myself since I was 14. I think that qualifies me.

SerenaFisher

I have played D&D since the age of 10, MTG starting at the age of 10 (not as much now though, everyonep has babies), Warhammer, Hero Quest, and various other RPG's.

Videogames, I love them, I have pwned many at them, and continue to do so even in my "old" age ^_^.

Comic books, graphic novels, and Manga are often on my reading list. Though I do not shy from JR Tolkein, Anne McCarthy, or R. A. Salvatore (Let's also note Lisanne Norman, she does more of a Sci Fi theme book, but it still has an excellent level of Fantasy.) Naturelly I read other books as well, but these are the most notable authors to me.

Artistry, a large fan of comic book art (Boris Vallejo, and Julie Bell do very nice work for Marvel), anime (also watching Animes), and drawing anime and other forms of fantasy art myself of course. Though to be fair drawing is a luxury with children and I have lost sight of my talent for a few years. I fully intend to write and illustrate a graphic novel before 35.

The list can go on, especially given the movies and TV shows I watch, however I think I've made my point.

courtney3988

Hi all,

Computer drone from N.Ireland who's trying to get himself in to shape, when not in work I spend my time gaming it up and whatever will run a game these days from iPad to x360 (GT:Agamembar) to 3DS(FC:4785-5396-0583) and when not doing that I have my nose stuck in my Kindle reading something Cyberpunky or a video game adaptation.

the last yearor so I've been getting into steapunk and Cosplay and I'm currently mid build of a set of Armor from the game Mass Effect, still haven't worked out if I can give craftng a calorie count to add to the diary, so losing some weight will help that look better.

Well I could go one but I think I can qualify, if you want add me, I'd like to have a few more in the feed to remind me to keep motivated and I'll cheer you on too.

They do exist...

Some of my favorite stuff comes from Japan. I love the Dragon Ball series, Trigun, Studio Ghibli, Samurai Champloo, etc. How's it going?

MattyFTM

I'd consider myself a geek. You can probably tell that from my custom ticker with pikachu in it.

LucasEVille

Anyone feel free to add me....

Love Xbox, MMOs, geocaching, Marvel, gadgets.

ransaka

Um, yes. Love graphic novels (especially 100 bullets and Transmetropolitan), huge sci-fi fan and avid tabletop and live roleplayer for the last 20 years as well as playing 40k and boardgames.
Nothing wrong with being a geek, some of the most well adjusted people I know are total geeks whereas a lot of "normal" folks I've met tend to be shallow judgemental bags of ferret droppings by comparison.

kmorgan221

Let's see:

- Comics (Marvel, DC and "indie" comics),
- Doctor Who
- LotR and The Hobbit - currently have my 11 year old daughter hooked on them
- Podcast host/producer (HHWLOD Podcast Network, mostly on "SHIELD TV Podcast" right now), recorded our own commentary tracks for all the Marvel Cinematic Universe films (still need to record one for Thor: The Dark World)
- Star Wars (see ticker :happy: )

Hail Hydra!

dontdreamit

I'm always scared to label myself a geek because I'm worried I might offend all the true geeks out there. I like a lot of Geeky stuff but I don't really spend much time on it or know that much about it...I'm a casual Geek, I guess. I love Sci-fi and fantasy, but there are so many shows I haven't seen and books I haven't read. I'm obsessed with Superheros and would love to get into comics but can never find the time (or know where to start). And even though I love gaming, I probably only play them once a month or so. I think I have geek potential but I can just never seem to find the time to immerse myself in all the many geeky things I'd love to get in to.
I do have some Geek in my though, considering Wonder Woman and Buffy were some of my biggest inspirations for getting fit (sad but true haha).

webbeyes

Me: Hi, I'm webbeyes, and I'm a geek
Crowd: Hi webbeyes!
Me: It's been ... 12 minutes since I last did something geek-like
Crowd: *gasps*
Me: Yes, well, erm ... I just did an hour workout using my XBox 360/Kinect. You see, I have 4 different cool games that help me workout, and it's hard to just leave them on the shelf, you know?
Crowd: *some mumblings...a couple sound like "oh yeah, I've done that too"*
Me: I'm also going to do something geek-like today - I told my wife we had to go to Costco to buy the latest Hobbit movie, even though I'm horrified that they split it into 3 movies, quite uselessly. But, you know, when you've read the book over a dozen times, you just HAVE to buy the movie, right?
Crowd: *some mumblings of agreement*
Me: By day I help direct the implementation of a very large IT-enabled project, and, I still get really involved in the technical nitty-gritty
Crowd: *losing interest*
Me: My home wireless network shows about 15 different devices connect: 3 blackberry's, a Playbook, an iPad, and Android, a desktop PC, a laptop, a netbook, the XBox 360 ...
Host: *interrupts* ...Okay thanks, who's next?

I didn't realize there were so many of us. I'm a complete nerd with some geek thrown in there. It's great to see so many of my favorite shows, games, and books represented in the this thread. To my shame, I have never learned Klingon, although I am a Trekkie.

quirkyconfusion
